YOU PRODUCE DATA
CONSTANTLY
And they are collected automatically by sensors around, or physically attached to us.
COMPANIES COLLECT, SELL AND BUY DATA
TO PROFILE YOU
More they understand on what’s motivating customers at a personal level, more they will profit from predictions on your behaviour.
PERSONALIZATION ALGORITHMS
ARE BLACK BOXES
Algorithms are just like secret recipes or policies that regulate our life and our social interactions according to market trends.
Social and economic inequalities can be exacerbated by the functioning of these mechanisms.
WE ANALYZE PLATFORMS
NOT PEOPLE
TRex is a browser extension that collects data on a voluntary basis. In order to deconstruct, in the public interest, the functioning of the proprietary algorithms.
ANONYMIZATION THROUGH
- Unique and secret token
- Total control managing the data provided: visualize, download or delete
- No data about where you are coming from, who are your friends or what they are doing and such
- We are not obsessed by you!
